An'rl Deficient Circulation Call for Mun- yon’s Blood Cure‘, the Best; Blood Tonic on the llIai'ket—It Enriches and Purifies the Blood, Promotes Appetite and Gives Renewed Strength and Vitality. Professor Munyon says: —“ [‘he idea that one must take‘ Spring Medicines’ 1s a great mistake. It is true that at this season of the year many changes take place 1n the human body that affect the blood, liver, kidneys and nerves, but in healthy people these changes oc- cur without the help of medicines. In fact, it 11113 sin against nature to take drugs of anv kind into the body unless one is ill. The so- called Spring Medi- cines for the blood are also bad because they pretend to cure all diseases with one combination of medicines. If your stomach is out of order it is absurd to take rheumatism medicine, if you have a. cold a kidney remedy not only does you no good, but may do harm; if your liver is sluggish a nerve cure is useless, in fact, there is only one Way to cure promptly and permanently, that is, by treating each phase of disease with the appropriate remedy. ‘A separate cure for each d1sease’ is the grand and time principle on which the Munyon system of treatment has gained its marvelous success. “It you have a March Cold, the first th1ng 1s to cure the cold, as this is the season when Grippe and Colds have a dangerous tendency to develop 1nto lungdiseases and catarrh. The most obst1nate colds yield‘in a few hours to Munyon’ s Cold Cure Pneumonia, catarrhal diseases and throat troubles are always prevented by this remedy. Where Colds are complicated by a Cough. the Cold Care should be alter- nated with Munyon’ s Cough Cure. “The debilitated condition wh1eh af- fects many people in the Spring season is Nature’ s warning that some organ is weak and often precedes serious disease, It is a condition which needs careful in- vestigation, and which calls for treat- ment, not with Spring Medicines. but with the remedy that will remove the cause. If the stomach is disordered, Munyon’s Dyspepsia Care will act as a stomach tonic and bowel regulator, as- sisting digestion, and curing such symptous as pain or soreness in- the stomach, indigestion or d1stress after eatmg, fullness in the stomach, short- ness of breath, poor appetite, coated tongue, sour or bitter rinsing from the stomach, heartburn, wind on the stom- ach, constipation, dizziness, fainting and lost emergy. “If the kidneys are effected, the languid dragged- out feeling is accom- panied by pain in the back dark circles around the eyes, headaches, ane deposits of red sand or mucus in th-‘ urine. Munyon’ s Kidney Care is guard ranteed to cure 95 per cent. of all forms of kidney disease. “When- the liver is disordered the ' whole system feels the presence in the blood of the poisonous substances lelt by the defective when of this organ. In fact, the condition is one of general poisoning. There is depression of the spirits, tired worn- -out feeling all the t1me bad taste in the mouth, aching and soreness in the right side, backache and aches and pains all over. Munyon’s L1ver Cure stimulates the liver to healthy action, and makesa perfect cure by removing the cause. “Impoverished, thin and impure blood is the foundation from which many diseases arise in the Spring months. The poor quality of the blood results in a general low state of health, loss of energy and vitality. The pa- tient takes cold easily, and the colds are obstinate, leading to catarrh, rheuma- tism and'neuralgia. Munyon’s Blood Cure not only purifies the blood. but makes new blood, rich in nourishment that invigorates the whole system. It ends the healthful action of all the or- gans of the body, revitaliz as all the tis- sues, promotesappetlte, drives out skin diseases, brings healthy color to the cheeks, clears the complexion and tones up the nerves, dispelling completely the dragged-out, tired feeling. No matter what the disease, thereis a Munyon spec1fic with WIDGLI you can doctor and cure yourself. Munyon’s Improved Homoeopathic Remedies are sold by all druggists, mostly at" 5 cents avial. There is no guess work, each remedy is plainly labeled w1th directions for home treatment, andkthe cure is alg- I.‘ solutely certain.

Sl‘. Bernard’s Trained to Pick Out “'ound- ml Officers and Men on a. Buttlcfleld. Germany, according to the American Field has been training dogs to assist the ambulance corps in time of war, and the result has been highly satis- factory to the men interested. The St. ‘ Bernard, by virtue of its great size and superior intelligence and gentleness, has come to be regarded as the modern war dog. Though the blood bound is good, it is less trustworthy and not so gentle as the St. Bernard. The training a war dog receives is thorough and comprehensive. It is taught that the officer is to be sought out first by the simple process of sew- ing anise seeds into every officer’s coat. The dog ,is supposed to travel over the dead and wounded on a field of bat— tle and seek out the fallen officer, and picking up a glove, cup, 01' other part of his dress, hurry with it to the am— bulnncc surgeon, and then lead the sur- geon to the man. Not only that, but the living are distinguished from the dead by the dogs, so that no time may be lost. Certain dogs are used to dis- cover the ofiicers, while others are used for all alike. The dogs are further taught to distinguish the enemy from friends. The (logs bear the marches better than the men. They serve admirably as scntrics. They carry burdens large in proportion to their size. They may be hitched to a wagon and driven like horses. In proportion to its value, the dog eats very little SUITED TO HIS MOOD.~ He Didn’t “’ish to be Bothered Even if He \Vas Sco (led. T1e ccccntricities of great men are not to be triflcd with, especially when the great men are in bad humor. A new story of General Jackson relates that, w hilc on one of his journeys to Tennessee about the time of the 1111111- fication excitement, 11o a11'ich1 at a Virginia village at a very impatient state of mind, both with public affairs and with the state of the roads. The president was entertained as a guest at the house of a lady in the vil- lage, and although he tried to be po- litc, the state of vcxntion which he was in affected him visibly. His hostess, at the supper table, was much alarmed to see the general swal- lowing with great rapidity a cup of 111- most boiling hot tea. "Wait, wait, general!” exclaimed the lady, “Let me give you some cold water.” “No, I thank you, mu’am,” said the general, continuing to drink. "But I don’t see 110w you can drink that boiling hot tea without scalding yourself.” ‘ No wonder you cant, ma' um,‘ Jackson; “I am scalding myself.” “But, sir, why do you—” “Good gracious, ma ’aml” exclaimed the general; “don t you see that I want to scald myself?” The lady 1"cf111incd from making any fuithcr suggestions as to her distin- guished guest’s comfort. ’said A Dog Sanitarium. There has been opened in Washing- ton a select boarding house and hes pitnl for pet dogs, and although the season is just beginning, it has proven quite successful. The experiment was an idea of a professor of canine medi- cine in the veterinary department of the Columbian University, who has long since had a large practice as a dog doctor. The place he'has opened here is especially adapted as a. sanitar- ium, and is arranged in wards, where the patients and boarders are kept. One of these is fitted up as an operat- ing room and is modeled after the most improved rooms in regular hos- pitals. Attached to the infirmery is a large bath room, where the dogs can be shampooed and take shower baths, and the doctor is now preparing plans for the construction of a Turkish bath for the use of his boarders who re- quire this luxury. Every kind of dis- ease 01' ailment is treated, and dogs whose owners have gone out of town for a season are boarded at the sani- tarium until their return—Mail and Express. "‘ Rare Liberality. A story is told in Piscataquis County of an amusing case of libei'ality. Soon after the happening of a great sensa- tion by which many people lost their little. all, the word went round the county that a citizen who usually clings close to his shekels had sug- gested a public subscription to make up the poor people’s losses, and had promised to subscribe largely himself. The population was amazed at the re- port. and inquiry was begun to learn its truth. “Did youofier to give $25,- 000 to pay these losses?” the citizen was asked. “Well, no,” he said, “I didn‘t put my offer in just that way. What I did say was that I would wil- lingly give $25,000 if the thing had never happened."

THE, DAUGHTER OF THE LEAGUE. \‘Vhat a Women’s ”Society Will Do £01 Ethel Mason. ' In one of the principal towns of Idaho is living a Mrs. Mason, who, pre- vious to her misfortunes, was sur- rounded with everything that heart could wish for. leverscs cu1ne._ She was obliged to tell for her little baby girl, Ethel. ‘Her one object was tc educate her child and keep her in an atmosphere of refinement. She worked and struggled night 511. d day, but at last was forced to the conclusion that she could not provide for Ethel as she wished. In 1101' strangers. extremity she turned to She wrote to New Yo' k to ‘ find out if there were not some child less home where little Ethel, who is now six years old, could find the ad- vantages the mother is unable to give her. The woman to whom she wrote is Mrs. Minnie _L. Cummings, founder of the lVoman’s Protective League. In her lettter Ethcl’s mother says: “Remembering Adelina, Patti’s much quoted maxim, ‘Go to strangers 1’01 charity, friends for advice and to rein. tivcs for nothing,’ I am about to wriu to you and ask you if you can and will help me. I do not wish to be guilty of the selfishness of bringing the child up in want, and sordid surroundings, when I know that many wealthy, childless couples; would be glad to adopt as their own So pretty and iii- telligent a child as I can truthfully af- firm Ethel to be. She believes im- plicitly in people, now, and in Santa Claus and in everything she is told. and I dread to see that 'swect belief in everything and everybody die out, and the cynicism which 'is one of the surest results of knocking about, cntcr her mind. Wherever she has been, she has made herself beloved by her lov- ing, tractable nature. Shc understands French pretty well, and of course, English, and has a. voice which gives evidence of great musical talent.” The ladies of the W'omnn’s Protoc— tivc League were touched by the up pool, and concluded to adopt little Ethel and bring her up as the dough- ter of the league. After she is educated and of age, she may again return to 1101' mother, whose rights will never be disputed. In her photograph the child looks very sweet and attractive. She is of the pure blond type and has a face for more mature in intcllcctuality than 1101' tender years—New York Herald. HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVE. The Cost of theh ecess'u ms of Life to the Poor of the E list Side. “Miss W'oolfolk, as the result of 1101'. investigation of 600 families on the- ' ‘Among 2,." people—under, "' East Side, testified as follows. the English— speaking this head I include Americans, Eng- lish and Irish—the average amoun that could be expended per day for the food of an individual was 11.9 cents; for clothing, 3.3 cents. Among the Jews —Russian, Polish, Hungarian and Ger- man Jews, inclusive—the average daily amount expended for food per individ- ual was 9 cents; for clothing, 3 cents. Among the Italians, 11 cents for food; 3.6 cents for clothing. Among the Gcr- mans, 10 cents for food and 3.3 cents for clothing. “This would be an average of 13.8 cents per individual expended for food and clothing. Applying these figures to the results obtained by the committee from the inspection of a particular group of houses, showing an average family of 3.7 persons, with an average income of $9.04 per week, and expend- ing $9.91 per month for rent, it would leave a surplus as savings amounting to $168.50 per year for each family, above the expenditures for rent, food and clothing. It is extremely doubtful, however, if any families under these conditions actually save such an amount.” Holmes’ Sense of Humor. It was Oliver Wendell Holmes who remarked, with affected gravity, “I really must not smoke so persistently; I must turn over a new leaf—~11 tobac- co—leaf—and have a cigar only after each"——here- he paused, as if to say “meal,” but he continued—“after each cigar!” When the smile went round the table, he leaned back in his chair and said, “A foreigner is an alien; a foreigner who drinks too much is a bacchanalian; and may not aforeign- or who smokes to much be called a to- bacconalian?” Once, when he had been heavily lionised and mobbed by a deputation of rough men from the Far West, and some one asked him if he did not enjoy it—“Enjoy it!” he ex- claimed. “I felt like the small elephant at the Zoo with a cheap excursion- party 011 its back!” Uses No Hair Brush.

ALittle Lying to a Gullible Thief Saved the Valuables. I once had an experience that proved to me that there is honor among thieves, said a “commercial,” It hap- pened several years ago in a little town. my usual time, and placed my watch and pocket-book under the pillow. Af- ter having been asleep for some time, I was awakened by hearing a strange noise in the room. You can imagine I was considerably startled at behold- ing a man with a handkerchief tied over his face standing by my bedside. In his band was a dark lantern, which shone full in my face. He did not give me much time to think, but in a gruff voice demanded my watch and money. I don't know what ever put the idea in my head, but, endeavoring to ap- poor as calm as possible, I said: "If I tell you exactly where they arc. will you promise not to molest me, and leave me to finish my sleep?” say." he replied; “but you just tell 11111. Where your valuables are, and I will promise not to harm you, and lcuvc you in peace.” "I will take you at your word,” said I; “my watch is at the jeweler’s be- ing repaired, and every cent I have is locked up in the ‘safc downstairs.” IIe- stared at me a minute or two, as though trying to tell by my face if I had spoken the truth. I must have convinced him, for, muttering some- thing which I did not catch, he turned on his heel and walked out of 1 the room without a word. A BICYCLE FOR WINTER USE. Run by a Gasoline Motor, Frame Heated and a \Vind Shield. ‘A clever inventor has made it pos— sible for the bicycle girl to ride her wheel twelve months in the year and to bid defiance to ice and snow, not to mention a gale or two. What is more, the fortunate young woman will not even have to furnish motive power for working her wheel, because there is a little gasoline motor just forward of the rear wheeLwhich imp‘els the ma- chine at any desired rate of speed. The young woman may imagine herself a lightning express and travel at an as- tonishing rate, or move along as Slow- ly as she pleases. Her winter bicycle will protect her from the cold blasts, too, for she will sit behind a shield. But even this is not all.

Sharks and Men on Good Terms. “1 saw an article about the unusual along the F'lOiida coast ” remarked a gentleman yesterday, “that interested me exceedingly. It brought an inci- dent to my recollection that I had al- most forgotten It happened when I was making a trip on a. sailing ship many years ago along the coast of In- dia. Well, we had occasion to'drop an- chor off an island near Ceylon, and sent a boat to the shore for a supply of fresh water. I accompanied the boat, and was really scared out of my wits 1.0 witness the incredible number of man- eating sharks that played about the yawl. When we had secured a bar- rel 01' two of water we put off, accom- panicd'by two natives, who wished to see the ship. The water was clear, and we could see dozens 0f huge sharks playing about the ship, and it was among the lot that the natives plunged when they had seen enough. They went without warning, and I ran ‘to the side of the vessel, expecting to see the hazardous fellows torn to pieces. For an instant there was no commotion among the sharks, and then, apparently scenting human flesh, fully 11 score of the gi- gantic man-eaters darted through the water in the direction of the natives, .who were swimming quietly for the shore. The water was cut into shreds by the fins of the Sharks as they fairly flew toward the swimmers. In another minute the two men were surrounded by the fish, and I closed my eyes to avoid seeing their horrible end. When I took down my hands the natives were swimming along in the same old way, and the sharks were coming back to the ship as quickly as they had gone. Well, sir, don’t you know that the fishwere so well acquainted witl‘ the islanders that they never touched them. They had been reared in the same water and were old friends."- New Orleans Times-Democrat. To Tell How Long You’llLive. 'Starting from the base of the big toe there is a distinct line. That is the life-line. In one foot it will curve along until it terminates under the in step far toward the lower base of the little toe. This means long life. If broken in the hollow of the foot. i1 denotes a sicknessat middle age, and if it terminates in the hollow of the foot it means a short life. This line is the most interesting one on the foot The experiments that have been con- ducted lately have proved this to be an almost unfailing reading of longevity. ——Answers.

Hank Miller of New York, some times called the “Omnibus King,’ was good—natured, and full of fun and he enjoyed a. patronage which eventually netted him a. neat income One evening Hank was making his rounds of the stable, as was his wont when he overheard the Chink 01 money and a subdued muttering Glancing over 13. stall, he discovered one of his drivers counting his fares as follows: “That’s two shillim’ for Hank, and two for me,” laying the shillings in two piles. He kept on dividing his fares, until he came to the last piece of money, an odd shillino'. “There,” said he, “that’s too bad to come out uneven, ’cause I wants to be square and go halves with Hank. Let me see, shall I throw this in his pile'l No, I’ll toss it up; heads for me and tails for Hank,” and he spun it up in the air. “Tails it is!” he cried as it fell. “Well, that’s Hank’s I suppose,” but he hesitated. “No, I guess I’ll toss again.” This time it fell down heads. “Ali, I knew that first toss wasn’t fair!” and having divided the money to his satisfaction, he slipped away w ithout knowing that Hunk had been watching him. Hank gained his office before the thieving diiver arrived to leave hisI fares. “Good evening, Jack,” said he, I as the man entered. “Luck good to- day?” “Rather poor, Mr. Miller,” and he laid the money on the desk. "II ell, J ck, I guess we can dis- pense with your services from now on.” “E11! Hows the at? What have I done?" cried the astonished Jack.

According to his figures Ger- many last year produced 1,626,988 tons of beet sugar, of which 958,128 tons were exported, the whole output show— ing an increase of 116,165 tons as cem- pared with- the previous year. The industry-receives direct and liberal aid from the German Government, and is still developing at a rate which Consul Monagh‘an thinks should receive the attention of American sugar growers. In addition to the amount of money which the Spanish Government is spending in the effort to subdue the Cuban rebellion, estimated at $200,000,- 000 a year, the debt of the island is stated at $425,000,000, while its reve- nue is almost nothing—scarcely $20,- 000,000 in the nearly two years that have elapsed since the rebellion began. It is evident that the island cannot pay the interest on its debt, and'also that Spain cannot endure the financial strain much longer, and it is becoming a question what the European coun- tries in which these Spanish and Cu-' ban bonds are principally held will do to protect themselves. European intervention on behalf of Spain, in order'that she may be enabled to pay her debts, might come before American intervention on behalf of Cuba. Why, then, should we not look for prosperity? The mouths. to be fed and the bodies to be clothed and housed have increased by some millions with the growth of our population since 1.892. The magnificent manufacturing 31:111t of the United States is as com-4 plcte and as diversified as ever. There has been no diminution in the rail- 1's,oad the shipyards and the farms which help to make up the assets of 0111 national wealth. The supply of sound money in the country is so abundant that Europe has attnally been borrowing of us of late. The grain shortage abroad has created a demand for American wheat which promises to give an unprecedented bal- ance of trade in our favor for the cal- endar year 1896.
